Alert : During this talk , Ajeet Dovel was in Moscow too.
India will provide the finances , Russia will provide the MANPADs and TTP/ BLA/ Afghan Taliban will use it against us. Russian might want to settle the score with Pakistan when their jets and gunships were targetted by Stinger manpads provided by Americans via Pakistan.
our main concern is the Taliban and then TTP, BLA getting their hands on the MANPADs.
that is the real risk. not an iteration of medium to long range SAM batteries.
any other bigger military equipment both static or mobile can l be located and destroyed by PAFmuch easier before its deployed , even if Afghan Taliban manage to complete all the training of maintaining operating and servicing these systems in record time.
Afghan Taliban would definately pass these MANPADs to BLA and TTP. they have decided to fight Pakistan for the sake of TTP what would prevent them from arming them and smuggling these weapons into Pakistan.
this is the time the establishment really needs to make peace with PTI. So that Taliban cant use the enemy of my ememy (Pakistan military'srmy's enemy) is my friend.
just before a big tragedy at the scale of airbase attacks and shooting down of passenger, cargo or military fighter planes takes place inside Pakistan within KPK, the extremist elements within PTI need to be distanced from Taliban and some sort of face saving deal needs to be made with Imran Khan.
India and Afghan Taliban are banking on further escalation of hostilities between PTI and establishment. And sadly both PTI rethoric and actions and establishments political persecution has only raised the hopes of Indians and Taliban that they can further use it to their advantage.
those of us who have access to KPK whatsapp groups of PTI they will know what I am talking about. we have risk of Russian kamikazi drones (better versions of current quadcopters used by TTP and Taliban against us) and MANPADs being smggled into Pakistan.
I just dread to recall this post if my fears come true. this risk of infiltration of such weapons into Pakistan can be reduced if our miltiary establishment and the PTI make peace for the sake of Pakistan. if Iran and America can talk peace then so should these two realities of Pakistan because both cant undo the other no matter how much they both try at the expense of Pakistan which pleases Indians and Afghans.
